Accommodations

Our accommodations will vary wildly on our trip. For the New York leg, we will be staying in Queens in what is known as a hostel. Boys and girls, WordNet defines as hostel as:

Noun
S: (n) hostel, hostelry, inn, lodge, auberge (a hotel providing overnight lodging for travelers)
S: (n) hostel, youth hostel, student lodging (inexpensive supervised lodging (especially for youths on bicycling trips)
We will be keeping our expectations...ahem...reasonable.

From there, our travel agency Costamar takes over (thank goodness!) They have provided us with several nights' stay in the following establishments:



Monterrey: The Safi Royal Luxury Hotel will provide our lodging the nights of December 8 - 13. The Safi Royal is a five-star hotel and has all the amenities of a modern metropolitan hotel. At the risk of providing too much information, the video above (in Spanish) is provided for your enjoyment.

La Ciudad to Mexico, Distrito Federal (or DF): The Casa Inn in Mexico City  will be providing our accommodations beginning on December 14 and concluding on December 16. It is centrally located, just minutes from the US Embassy, museums, restaurants and stores and just 35 minutes from the airport. According to the website, it was completely remodeled in 2008 "with a new concept and a totally executive image." I guess we'll see how it went.

Fear not readers: We will provide a full report on all accommodations as the trips progresses. I get the feeling I'm going to like them a lot.
